The Wisdom of Odin is a vlog of my journey through Norse Paganism, a way to assist others along their journey, and a place to promote a positive image for all of paganism.
While I personally declare myself as a Norse Pagan, I speak on topics that also involve aspects of Asatru, Heathenry, and other pagan identities such as Slavic/Celtic/Germanic paganism.
All gatherings are set up and managed by The Fellowship of Northern Traditions, a non-proft religious organization. This channel/community is inclusive to all but is also non-political.

The whole side of the former Viking town is still full of artefacts, and the reason why the recreation village is so small, is because that is the part where they digged up everything that was found under the the ground. If they would build a larger village, they would build on top of artefacts. And in case they can do another dig up, they want the area to be clean. Also in the water in front of you are still Viking ships even bigger and in better condition as the one in the museum, but they don’t have the money to take it out of the water and to conceal it.
I'm of German ancestors as well as Sweden and Scot I love thinking about how it was back then. The animal decorations are very important to me. As I believe in the spiritual aspect of worship of nature and believe that animal decorations are very important as I sit here at 730am listening to thunder as the sun rises and crows crowing while I watch this. Thank you for your service fine gentlemen.
I am from the western part of Germany and Haithabu has always been on my bucket list. Hopefully I will be able to visit it next year.
ist wirklich ein schönes Museum. Meine Mutter arbeitet da. Kann es nur empfehlen.
It's really sad to think about how rulers wanting to hold on to their power likely lead to the homogenization of religion in Europe.
Here's to hoping that one day we'll see the revival of the old ways in a big way.
Well said
Dude, thank you for making this. I have ancestors from this part of Germany, specifically.
Danke bruder! Great video and thanks for sharing your wisdom and journey with us all! I too value nature a great deal and have ancestors from Germany and Scandanavia (Norse).
These videos transport me to where you at! Great Job!
I was waiting for this one. I love your energy, you are such an ancient and wise being 🤍
Feel ancient after all the travel! But very honored to record the history of these places
I cannot wait to bring my son to this museum one day. i do remember some research suggesting that the wall was built to keep the slaves from escaping and that slave trade was very popular in this community.
I enjoy your content and can't wait to see where you go next!
I live right around the corner from Haithabu. Gotta visit again soon.
Keep up the amazing work I always look forward to your videos!
Had a lot of fun making this one. Very beautiful in northern Germany
Thank you Jacob for sharing this amazing video of yours can't get enough of your content you're awesome that place was incredible love it can't wait to see you on your next video have a wonderful day
We got the same name 😁
Absolutely amazing!!
Love the videos. Keep em coming!
Sadly this area - Slesvig Holstein was a part of Denmark until it was lost in a war with Germany in 1864. Harald Bluetooth”s conversion was purely political. Harald was under pressure : He was trying to conquer all of England + Otto of Germany wanted to invade Denmark to convert the Danes. So the conversion to Christianity was purely to take away the excuse from Germany to invade. And his son Swein Forkbeard was peagan.
Schleswig was part of Denmark, Holstein was just a fief of the Holy Roman Empire to the King of Denmark. The incorporation of Holstein and Schleswig into the Kingdom of Denmark led to the war.
Your enthusiasm is incredibly contagious.
I love Haithabu. Haha, but I don't like the village. It's fairly new and I think they built it, because many people couldn't imagine how the place could have looked like, even on a small scale. Still, it's a magical place for me. My family and I have come there often and still do.
About the Mjöllnir mold, they've found molds with that on the one side and crosses on the other so that any customer could be satisfied, no matter what creed ;-)
Keep it up and enjoy your journey through time!
is this near thorsberg? thorsberg moor is an old bog that the Germanics dropped sacrifices into for hundreds of years and during the viking age the vikings created a site on top of the space. they've found a tunic from 4th century, a pair of pants, shield with runic inscriptions and a sword. might be interesting? love watching your videos!
Not really, Thorsberg moor is about 30km from Haithabu. Thorsberg is to the Northeast of Haithabu. I can't remember if I've ever been there though. Thanks!
Amazing video as always 👏
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing
I was there in MAY. it was a really exciting adventure. make sure to check out the dänewerk as well.
The wall around the city was the start of it, and it was awesome to see! Sadly I didn’t have time to stop and see more of it
Thx you for sharing. Very interesting….
Going there next month! gonna be fun.
I would love to visit this place one day!
That is F**king Awesome Jacob, I am glad u r seeing how are ancestors lived a long time ago! Skål💀🍻
Going there tomorrow ✌
very good info that we need
If you say the place is worth the visit, I'll keep it in mind if I'm ever in the area. Also, it's crazy to think about how big that settlement was for the time.
All the artifacts look beautiful ❤️❤️
I’ve seen a lot of museums now, and this is one of the best for Viking age artifacts
@@TheWisdomOfOdin I agree with you also have you ever thought about taking time to talk about certain artifacts for future videos
Untill 1864 , the location of Hedeby was within the danish border. But after a war with Preussia and Austria , that Danmark lost. The area has been german since ...
Cool. Your in my ancestors region
I want to scubadive in that lake so bad
It was an interesting day I spent in Wikinger Haithabu Museum
near Schleswig - though it did involve a lot of walking LOL
I think that it being sacked by Harald Hardrata and then the Western Slavs
and it was abandoned means that we can learn from this abandoned city.
Otherwise it would have been built over like Schleswig on the other side of the Schlei.
The medium depth of the Haddeby Backwater (Noor) is only 10 feet. When the ships in the Middle Ages became bulkier and went deeper into the water, Haithabu suffered the same fate as harbour cities today that cannot be the terminals for the huge container ships. That is one of the reasons that Haithabu was not rebuilt after that devastation in the 11th century.
That looks great, shame it’s such a small place, imagine what they could do with such a great location.
My video in Ribe next week is a good example on how much more can be done.!

Regarding the time of the switch between polytheism and Christianity, I would rather assume that the artists had no pattern for this representation from the Christian world and therefore made it in a way that they knew and was probably passed on in this way for generations.
Not necessarily to actually worship the "old gods" in secret.
Cute tattoos buddy :D
❤
40% of people watch to the end? certainly more than other channels including my own :)
Really interesting but I’d liked more coverage of the village regardless of its size. I think you rushed that part.
There were 4 buildings lol, and they were dark inside so I couldn't get any descent footage. I recommend checking out the video I filmed in the Ribe Viking Center I spent a lot of the time in the halls filming
I'm so happy to know that I'm not the only one who gives the middle finger to photographs of douche canoes. Also: Love this!
harold took notes from rome...christianity is definitely useful for keeping sheep in line with a strong shepherd 🙄 i'll leave it at that...i'm an atheistic pagan...
Remember - it was not Germany, but Denmark/Norway Viking territory. Sad thats its in Germany actually.
The people voted for it in 1920. Sad that you can’t accept the will of the people.
Scandinavia wants their territory back
